BASE BALL.
O maha Wins Over the Home Team BY Scor
of 10 to 8.


of 1OtoS.
The first of the two exhibition games TO oe
PLAYED by the Omahas and Wichitas was won
by the former yesterday afternoon by score
OF 10 to s. The visitors scored five runs
each in the first and sixth innings. In the
first after man was out McLelland had two
good opportunities to end the inning, but
didn't do it, making errors which indirectly
gave the visitors five runs and the game; and
in the sixth by combination Of costly errors
and opportune base hits the doom was GER
tain. In the interim, however, Wichita had
made six runs, four in the third and two In
the fourth, so that at the beginning of the
fifth inning the home club was in the lead
1t was game too uncertain to bet on at any
stage. McLelland undoubtedly lost the game
by his errors in the first inning, although he
did all he could at the bat to win it, making
a single and two doubles. Haber played his
usual good game at left, and Smiley and
Lighton did well at the points. The game
otherwise was void of features save blunders.
The umpiring of Suratt doesn't seem to give
satisfaction to any body. Several decisions
yesterday were ridiculously rank. Still, we
do not think be is SO bad as the fellows who
bet the other way are prone to think.
